HM Dash and GP Firmware update

After a long winter break, I have started to do some of those little jobs that I have overlooked.

HM Racing have been busy updating their software and firmware. The only criticism I have is that they do update their code but forget to tell anyone what if any benefits are included.

HM GP Firmware update

Firstly I updated the HM GP software, It's leapt to version 2.4 but again no idea what improvements have been made. I have updated to firmware 2.7 as seen in the screen shot.

I also upgraded the HM Dash Update tool to 2.14 and the firmware to 7L. This one is slightly different as this one is not described as a beta version. Again, no readme exists for what it offers. I presume its to cover new models.

Here is a small video to show the update

This has not been trouble free. I decided to try and use my new Windows 10 tablet for the update. I found that I could not turn off digital signatures as I was using Bitlocker. So any other Win 8/10 should be fine as long as no bit locker is used.

Well I doubt I will ever be brave enough to buy a conversion like this but saw these and the think they look amazing. I find that a great deal of headlight conversion often look tacky and dread it when I hear of angel or demon eyes. These however seem tasteful and do seem to suit the lines of the bike.

As a fan of making the CBR1000RR that little bit better, I stumbled across a shock linkage from Lee's Cycles. The Honda CBR1000RR comes with a standard Shock linkage of 175mm. HRC provide these in different lengths (170mm-172mm) to change the handling of the bike. The Lee's cycles link is 170mm long and is based on the HRC version at a fraction of the cost. HRC List 4 different links listed for the blade: 1) 52470-MFL-R10 CONN ROD ASSY., CUSHION R1 (Standard) 2) 52470-NLR-A20 CONN ROD ASSY., CUSHION (MEL) 166.2mm 3) 52470-NLR-A30 CONN ROD ASSY., CUSHION (P2) 178.8mm 4) 52470-NLR-A40 CONN ROD ASSY., CUSHION (P4) 170mm In Brief, MEL is the most aggressive, P4 is less aggressive, P2 is quite flat and the unlisted is offers the characteristics of the P2 but adjusts ride height. The idea in general gives better rear grip on the rear and raises the seat somewhat to transfer some weight to the front of the bike. Besides the obvious advantages to the handling 5mm means less material and a few…
